Are there any deities that personify realms other than the earth or sky? Many mythologies have deities whom either personify the earth or sky (e.g. Gaia and Uranus). However, are there any deities that represent other realms, like how Tartarus is the personification of Tartarus? Also, please take note that by "realms", I mean places that are inhabited (e.g. Asgard of Norse mythology, Aaru of Egyptian mythology) and not places such as the sun or moon.

## Hel

Hel) personified and rules the "bad" afterlife in norse mythology. In fact, she took her name from it). There has been speculation that she as a mythological figure was an invention by Snorri, however, as other sources always talk about figures being "in Hel".

Margaret Clunies Ross says that most poetic contexts are not sufficiently clear for us to distinguish between Hel as a place and Hel as "the personified guardian of that place", and that she and her attributes are "tangliable" personifications. (I'm translating back from a translation of _Prolonged Echoes_ , so the quotes are likely not exact).
